Germany’s imports rose 0.8% month-on-month to €115.1 billion in November 2025, beating market estimates of 0.2% and recovering from a revised 1.5% decline in the previous month. The upturn marked the fifth monthly rise in purchases so far this year, pointing to resilient domestic demand despite ongoing economic headwinds. Imports from non-EU countries surged 6.3%, with notable gains from the U.S. (7.9%), China (8.0%), the UK (10.9%), and Russia (22.5%). In contrast, purchases from EU partners fell 4.0%, weighed down by weaker inflows from both Eurozone countries (-3.7%) and non-Euro area members (-4.7%). Over the first eleven months of 2025, total imports increased 4.6% year-on-year to €1.25 trillion.
